Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 427 - 433: Nascent Soul

```

The effectiveness of this wave of attacks was quite satisfactory, at least the first and second Tribulation Thunders were significantly weakened and dissipated.

After they passed through layers of protective canopies, they had become very feeble, posing virtually no harm to Li Zhirui.

As for the third Tribulation Thunder, although it wasnʼt significantly weakened at the start, after passing through both the canopies and layers of water curtains, its power was also greatly reduced!

Seeing this scene, whether they were the protectors like Jiang Fengwu and others or the cluster of clansmen spectating from a distance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were still three Tribulation Thunders and the Heart Demon Tribulation to withstand, at least they had surmounted the first hurdle.

The commotion of Li Zhirui undergoing Tribulation Transcendence was far from small, and the cultivators within the Red Pine Market a few hundred miles away could naturally see that conspicuous Heavenly Tribulation.

”Someone from the Li family is undergoing tribulation?! Could it be that another Golden Core True Person is going to emerge?” a Loose Cultivator said enviously.

”Itʼs really enviable! If I had known that the Li family was progressing so swiftly, I should have readily nodded in agreement to marry in and become a Li family son-in-law, at least I could have benefitted from their radiance!”

Upon these words, the crowd didnʼt ridicule him; after all, this fellow, even beginning to show signs of age, remained an elegant Mr. Yu, indicating how handsome he must have been in his youth.

”Indeed, I heard that several female cultivators who married into the Li family have successfully achieved Foundation Establishment! Apparently, it was because they could borrow Contribution Value and also purchase Foundation Establishment Pills at a low price.”

This made everyone even more envious. Alas, as the Li family developed, their requirements for sons-in-law grew increasingly stringent, making it nearly impossible for these Loose Cultivators to join the Li family anymore.

After all, the internal prices within the Li family and the prices offered to other cultivators were naturally different; the former was a subsidy for clan members, allowing them to use a sufficient amount of Spiritual Objects, seeking only to earn a bit of cost and labor fees, whereas for the latter, who were not family, selling at a low cost would invite trouble, so naturally it had to be kept in line with market prices.

And the cultivator from Shen Leishan who went to Wanxian Island to record the beast tide and the losses of the Li family, recognized the true identity of this Thunder Tribulation. It was not the Golden Core Tribulation spoken of by those inexperienced Loose Cultivators, but the Nascent Soul Tribulation!

”How is this possible! Since when did someone from the Li family manage to break through to the Nascent Soul stage!” The person shook his head continuously, as if struck by lightning, simply unable to believe it.

But the truth was right before his eyes!

The fourth Tribulation Thunder, absent in the Golden Core Tribulation, came thundering down!

Once he had no choice but to accept this news, his first impulse was to leave Red Pine Market and relay the message in time so that his Sect would be informed and thereby change their strategy towards the Li family.

After all, with Li Zhirui having broken through to Nascent Soul, the Li family, to some extent, was now on equal footing with Shen Leishan, and there was no need to maintain enmity with them!

But in the end, he found out that the gate was not even open; they were trapped within the marketplace due to the beast tide, and it was simply impossible to send the message out.

”Now, I can only hope that the Sect hasnʼt made an enemy of the Li family yet, otherwise... ”

Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed; the Li family had already lost over a dozen clan members to the actions inspired by Shen Leishan, the Fan Family, Hongluo Sect, and Mingguang Sect. Such enmity was definitely not something that could be dissolved in a short period of time!

Just as various thoughts were surfacing in his mind, Li Zhiruiʼs fourth Tribulation Thunder also tardily descended.

But the roaring pressure from the sky added to the pressure everyone felt; though Li Zhirui remained unflustered, continuing to take measures to weaken and defend. Subsequently, he ingested Spirit Pills to recover his Mana and employed various Spells and Divine Powers to whittle down the Tribulation Thunder.

The main reason was that Li Zhiruiʼs Tribulation Transcendence this time was somewhat special; the first strike alone brought down three Tribulation Thunders, which left him with no option but to defend passively.

```

Fortunately, the final outcome did not disappoint Li Zhirui, as the approach was effective, although it consumed too much mana.

After the sixth Tribulation Thunder fell, all of the Li family members breathed a sigh of relief, followed by ecstatic joy. Despite the impending Heart Demon Tribulation, they believed that with Li Zhiruiʼs resolute Dao Heart, the mere Heart Demon Tribulation was insignificant.

However, Li Shiqing and others were unaware that while comprehending the Laws, Li Zhirui had indulged too deeply and his Spiritual Soul had suffered some damage.

In other words, although Li Zhiruiʼs Dao Heart was unshakably firm, his Spiritual Soul had shown a flaw, a channel through which the Heart Demon could infiltrate.

Clearly aware of this, Li Zhirui concentrated fully, reminding himself that any changes in the scene were just the illusionary realm of the Heart Demon!

Thanks to this method, the Heart Demon Tribulation had no way to deal with Li Zhirui. Or it could be said, if oneʼs Nascent Soul was gradually tempered, their Dao Heart would be as solid as a rock, nearly impossible for any Heart Demon incarnation to tempt.

After the Heart Demon was shattered with frustration, Li Zhiruiʼs Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation was deemed completely over, and now, it was time to take the final step, to fully solidify the Nascent Soul amidst the pure Spiritual Energy transformed from the Heavenly Tribulation!

Ding——

As the Nascent Soul took shape in an instant, a slender Law manifested above the head of Li Shiqing, emitting a bright Spirit Light that shone dazzlingly bright and enveloped a large part of the family grounds, spreading a profound aura.

Anomaly of the Nascent Soul!

Individuals like Li Shiqing and Li Zhixuan, with a bit of insight, were stunned by the sight.

To have an anomaly of the Nascent Soul was as rare as a Golden Core cultivator possessing an innate Divine Power, often signifying a solid foundation with a promising future!

It was said that cultivators with an anomaly of the Nascent Soul found it easier to break through to Divine Transformation!

Even if it was just a little easier, perhaps not even half as much, it was enough to drive one mad with desire. After all, at the stage of Divine Transformation, the Spiritual Objects that could be of help were few and far between, each an extremely precious treasure of heaven and earth.

Under the irradiation of the purifying Spirit Light, wisps of black smoke suddenly rose from the nearby soil, and the same happened to Li Shiqing and the others.

”This...” Jiang Fengwu was the first to notice the changes in her body, feeling a sudden ʼlightness,ʼ and the other clan members experienced the same.

The reason for this sensation was the Purification Principle clearing years of accumulated impurities from their bodies, though it did not completely cleanse them, as the Laws were still very weak.

”Hahahaha!” After digesting all the Spiritual Energy, Li Zhirui suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils radiating brilliant light, dazzling to the point of being unbearable to look at directly.

”After over two hundred years of arduous cultivation, today I have finally achieved the esteemed Nascent Soul, receiving a lifespan of a thousand years!” Li Zhirui laughed loudly with unbridled arrogance.

In the Profound Origin Realm, where Divine Transformation ancestors seldom appeared, Nascent Soul was already among the pinnacle of strength!

It could be said, unless Li Zhirui brought about his own downfall, it was nearly impossible for him to perish!

And as long as Li Zhirui did not perish, the Li family would not be annihilated.
